WTH RU-vid! The absolute near-perfect cover of one of the greatest ever songs, and I see it 7 years late? And just 50k views? I hope life has been superb for this ensemble since.
I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve watched this. It’s just plain amazing. Each performer is giving 110% and it shows, and it’s heard in this rendition. Andrea Goldsworthy is just brilliant and so magnetic, I often find myself rewinding this clip just to catch snippets of her performance alone. The singers are out of this world. I cannot say enough about this performance and how fantastic it truly is.
This version unlights this Spector masterpiece. I was looking around to find a cover that could be listenable cause the original is pure madness in terms of mix even for the era stadards. I found it, bravo
I noticed Paloma had the same band playing for her each time when I watch her live performances on RU-vid, and I'm very happy to find out they have their own thing going on! I've always admired how they sound and play so awesomely during Paloma's show - their passion and chemistry is amazing!
PERFECT proof that playing all the rights notes is NOT what makes a classic Ryhtm and Blues song a classic. If that special energy and feeling isn't there, then no amount of 'professionality can paint over it. Absolutely NO POWER performence at all. This is a DREADFUL song for anyone to cover. And am talking from experience. It is too difficult to get the gravity and energy. Same for many Janis Joplin songs too. How many more weak-as-piss versions of 'Peice of my heart' do we need? Strangely the ONLY powerful version of this I have heard so far, is by a Scottish punk rock era band who are still doing the rounds without any need for hits, called Revillos, who usually end their sets with a fast and furious version of River Deep, and has most of the audience in stitches! But they are excellent it it. The disco-bunnies just DON'T get R&B.
